For reminding me about Unios.

For some good clues about /etc/passwd

Who sussed out that syslogd needs /etc/services, and introduced me to the phrase ``rolling your own'' to describe building a system from source code.

Alex Aitkin

For bringing Vico and his ``verum ipsum factum'' (understanding arises through making) to my attention.

Dennis Scott

For correcting my hexidecimal arithmetic.

jdd

For pointing out some typos.

David Leadbeater

For contributing some ``ramblings'' about the kernel deamons.

15.5 Change History

0.6 -> 0.7

  • more emphasis on explanation, less on how to build a system, building info gathered together in a separate section and the system built is trimmed down, direct readers to Gerard Beekmans' ``Linux From Scratch'' doc for serious building
  • added some ramblings contributed by David Leadbeater
  • fixed a couple of url's, added link to unios download at learning.taslug.org.au/resources
  • tested and fixed url's
  • generally rewrite, tidy up

0.5 -> 0.6

  • added change history
  • added some todos

15.6 TODO

  • explain kernel modules, depmod, modprobe, insmod and all that (I'll have to find out first!)
  • mention the /proc filesystem, potential for exercises here
  • convert to docbook sgml
  • add more exercises, perhaps a whole section on larger exercises, like creating a minimal system file by file from a distro install.
